#### Example Search:
- Began: Look for "BEGAN" in the grid.
- Blew: Look for "Blew" in the grid.
- Continue this process for all the past tense forms.

#### Solution:
After searching through the grid, you should be able to find all the past tense forms. For example:
- "BEGAN" might be found horizontally.
- "BLEW" might be found vertically.
- "BROUGHT" might be found diagonally, etc.

Explanation:

- Irregular verbs do not follow the standard "-ed" ending rule for past tense. Instead, they have unique past tense forms that must be memorized.
- The word search helps reinforce these irregular past tense forms by requiring students to both write them down and locate them visually.
